--- Graduation Day ---

     “People say that you have to cherish your graduation day,

because it will only occurs once in your life.

It will be the start of your new journey.”

    Seohyun has been there alone for about twenty minutes, but there’s still no sign of her unnies. Well, actually she was too engrossed to the performances that she didn’t realize her unnies have gone.

     Hyoyeon, Sooyoung, and Yoona were ones of the performers. Yuri is the valedictorian. So there were only Sunny and Jessica as companions, but they wanted to go to the toilet. But now, the performances are all done, so the unnies should have came back.

     Seohyun was about to stand and start searching for her unnies when the lights suddenly out. It was too sudden, and weird, at least for Seohyun. Normally, people will shout or something, especially the girls, but there was no sound.

     Then she hears someone playing the grand piano. It is the Because of You by Keith Martin. Then the lights turned back on, but only focused on the piano. Wait, seems like someone has moved the piano. Before, we can see the pianist, but now the pianist is covered by it.

     Seohyun was captured by the beautiful music. It’s like the pianist really gives his soul to the song. Then someone started singing.

If ever you wondered

If you touched my soul?

Yes you do

Since I met you I'm not the same

You bring to everything I do

Just the way you say hello

With one touch I can't let go

Never thought I'd fall in love with you

Because of you my life has changed

Thank you for the love and the joy you bring

Because of you I feel no shame

I'll tell the world just because of you

     Seohyun was like “What on earth?!”when the stage rotated so the pianist can be seen. The pianist was someone familiar. The pianist was the singer. The pianist was the one who appeared on media often. Cho Kyuhyun.

     Well, for she never put any attention to the media, she didn’t realize it was him. But then, Seohyun’s jaws dropped the second she realized who it really was. Especially when all of sudden, one of the lamp focused on her. Only her.

Sometimes I get lonely

And all I gotta do is think of you

You captured something inside of me

You make all of my dreams come true

It's not enough that you love me for me

You reached inside and touched me internally

“I Love You” best explains how I feel for you

Because of you my life has changed

Thank you for the love and the joy you bring

Because of you I feel no shame

I'll tell the world just because of you

     Kyuhyun turns his head so he can make eye contact with Seohyun. No idea when did people move away.

The magic in your eyes

True love I can't deny

When you hold me

I just lose control

I want you to know

That I'm never letting go

You mean so much to me

I want the world to see

It’s because of you…

     Kyuhyun stood up as he finished the song, then he walks towards Seohyun. Slowly. Reaaaaallly slowly. Seohyun was just looking at him in disbelief. She didn’t get it at first, actually.

     Now she knows, Kyuhyun is the same guy as the one who was always right next to her. Who was so clumsy and so dependable on Seohyun. Who was too reckless and carefree. Who… Actually captured little by little, part of Seohyun’s mind. Who gives her warmth and comfortable feeling when they are together.

     Whom, Seohyun inevitably have to admits, she thinks half of the time, smiling like idiot. The only thief she gave the key to.

     Before it’s too late, before she could run away from there, Kyuhyun grabbed her hands. Seohyun looks at him, learning his face. Half hoping that he isn’t Marcus. But the unique sparks in his eyes, the brunette hair which is the same color as hers, the nose she wanted to poke… Those things seems so right, yet so wrong in some other way.

     “I’m sorry, Seo. I really am,” Kyuhyun said while looking straight to her eyes. The eyes that always make his heart when crazy when they met his. The eyes that he wants to never will, let out any water falls.

     “Who… Are you?” Seohyun asked. Unecessary question actually, but she just needs to make sure. Kyuhyun then let go of her hands and immediately does a formal introduction bows.

     “Annyeonghaseyo, I’m Cho Kyuhyun. It was enchanted to meet you,” Kyuhyun said. Seohyun smiled sarcastically.

     “Hi… But, sorry, I think I don’t have anything to do with you, Sir. So, please excuse me,” Seohyun was about to leave when suddenly his hand caught hers.

     “You may angry at me, Seo. But please, just for this once, listen to me.” Seohyun closed her eyes, trying so hard to hold her tears. She couldn’t believe it.

     "Listen to me, jebal. I am sorry, Seo. It wasn't my intention. I was only doing my punishment. Yeah, I was a bad guy, really bad guy. Then Mr. Kim told me that you are a very clever person, he recommended you to be my helper," Kyuhyun really doesn't know what to say. The people around them are so quiet, makes the atmosphere a li'l bit tense.

     "I didn't know that things would be like this. You were the one who made me hold on. I thought I will never be able to do the punishment, but with you, I didn't even see this as punishment. At all." Seohyun turned around to face Kyuhyun. They look at each other's eyes. It's so clear thru' her expression and eyes, she is hurt. She is disappointed. But she puts the poker face instead.

     "I love you, Seo." Seohyun's jaws stiffened.

     "I'm sorry, Sir. I'm sure you're mistaken. I'm only a helper for you, no? I think the feeling you're feeling isn't love. And since my job is done, please, excuse me," Seohyun slightly bowed to him, turned around and walked away. Kyuhyun pulled her again.

     "No, I'm serious, Seo. I lo---"

     "Sir, I don't even know you. That word is not allowed to be said yet. Please, don't involve me into your things. I don't want to be involved into a life of a player," Seohyun flinched at her own words. Her heart was like stopped for a moment. It was too harsh. Yet she said it sarcastically. She pulled her hand and ran away.

     Kyuhyun can't hold it any longer. A tear streaming down his cheek. Siwon, who was standing in the crowd along with Seohyun's unnies, came to him. Kyuhyun suddenly cried his heart off when Siwon put his hand on Kyu's shoulder.

     "She needs time, Kyu. Don't give up, I'm sure she will open her heart for you," Siwon said. The unnies came to them and soothe Kyuhyun down.

     "We'll try to talk to her, Kyu. And... I'm sorry," Yoona said.

     The girls say sorry to him one by one. But Kyuhyun only staring at the door blankly. It must been hard for him.
